Su Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, “It’s fine. It’s not a big problem for you to stop acting.”
Old Madam Wei composed herself and raised her foot to cross the threshold of
the Imperial Study. Unexpectedly, before she could land, she staggered. Su Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed her. “Grandmother!”
Old Madam Wei was about to cry. “Don’t hold me back! Just let me die! Your grandfather’s corpse hasn’t turned cold yet, but this group of shameless beasts bullied an old widow like me and my weak granddaughters-in-law… I don’t want to live anymore…”
The Lu family trembled!
Can she not be so shameless?
Who was bullying whom? Weak granddaughters-in -law? Were their injuries caused by themselves?!
Emperor Jing Xuan already understood what had happened. Both sides had their own arguments. The Wei family insisted that the Lu family had sent someone to set a trap for the Li family, while the Lu family tried their best to deny it, indicating that the Wei family was pestering them endlessly.
However, be it the Lu family’s trap or the Wei family’s fight, they would at most be reprimanded and beaten up 50 times.
Duke Lu understood this logic, so they were not reporting the Wei family’s famous physician today.
“The Wei family wants to kill me!” Lu Zheng said.
If it was related to a murder, the nature of the matter would be different.
Emperor Jing Xuan asked, “Do you have evidence?”
Lu Zheng looked at Su Xiaoxiao coldly. “I saw it with my own eyes and the citizens at the event location can testify. Seventh Young Madam was not among the few young madams who caused trouble. She was the murderer who hid on the roof and almost shot me! If not for my guard protecting me with his life, I’m afraid I would have died under her arrows!” Protect him with his life?
It was clearly him who had captured the guard as a shield!
Su Xiaoxiao said frankly, “I’ve been in the palace all morning and only left near noon. What has it got to do with me that you were shot early in the morning?”
“You…”
Eunuch Fu walked forward and reported softly, “Your Majesty, Seventh Young Madam indeed entered the palace early this morning.”
Emperor Jing Xuan looked at Su Xiaoxiao suspiciously. “Why did you enter the palace?”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “The day before yesterday, I agreed to enter the palace today to send letters to the two princesses. His Majesty can summon the two princesses and we’ll know after asking.”
Jing Xuandi asked, “You were with Jingning and Hui An all morning?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I was invited to see the Empress Dowager halfway. Your Majesty can also send someone to Zhaoyang Hall to investigate.”
Emperor Jing Xuan sent Eunuch Fu.
When Eunuch Fu returned, he nodded at Emperor Jing Xuan. “Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said that Seventh Young Madam did go to her bedroom. It was Little Yunzi who went to Qixiang Palace to invite her. It was also Little
Yunzi who sent her back to Princess Hui’an.”
In other words, Su Xiaoxiao was watched the entire time. There was no possibility of her slipping out.
State Duke Lu gritted his teeth and said, “Who else could it be?”
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and said leisurely, “Your Lu Public House is inhumane. Who knows who else you’ve offended? Not everyone is as open and aboveboard as our Wei family!”
“You!” State Duke Lu choked until his face flushed with agitation. “That person’s figure is also like yours!”
Su Xiaoxiao said without any guilt, “My figure is very common!”
She was not that chubby little fatty anymore!
State Duke Lu was about to say something when Emperor Jing Xuan said in a low voice, “Enough!”
There had been many worrisome things recently. Emperor Jing Xuan did not want to hurt himself over such an ambiguous matter.
It was most likely true that Duke Lu had secretly set a trap for someone. Otherwise, with the Wei family’s personality, it was impossible for them to cause trouble. However, the Wei family was really too ruthless. Look at how they had beaten them up… They were all pig heads.
As for the archer in the dark, there was no evidence, so it was not on the Wei family.
“You have five sons and more than ten guards. You can’t beat a few women, but you still have the cheek to complain!”
Emperor Jing Xuan did not show Lu Zheng any mercy.
It was Lu Zheng’s fault. Why had Emperor Jing Xuan been slapped in the face by Zhuge Qing last time? It was to matchmake Lu Zheng’s daughter.
He was holding back his anger.
Seeing that something was wrong, Lu Zheng did not dare to say anything.
In the end, Emperor Jing Xuan punished the two families and asked them to return.
The Lu family was furious.
In less than two days, this matter would spread throughout the capital. The women of the Wei family had tortured the men of the Lu Public House into dregs. It went without saying that was the Lu Public House had lost all its face.
They originally wanted to step on the Wei family to climb up, but they became the first stepping stone for the Wei family to make a comeback.
Madam Chen and the others were worried that their grandmother and seventh sister-in-law would be bullied, so they came to the palace to pick them up.
At the entrance of the palace, Lu Zheng and his sons saw Madam Chen from afar and their hearts skipped a beat.
Madam Chen was the most ferocious among them. She beat people up like they were chickens.
However, she even stopped the carriage beside the carriage of the Duke’s
Estate.
The men stepped into their carriage with trepidation.
Madam Chen raised her arm.
The few of them retreated in unison!
Madam Chen asked innocuously, “What?” She brushed her hair.
Old Madam Wei led her granddaughters-in-law into the carriage.
Matriarch Wei saw the guard reveal a look of awe. She had not seen such an expression in years.
She sighed and smiled. “This is what the Wei family should be like.”
The Wei family was alive. It was no longer the lifeless Wei family.
Su Xiaoxiao sat beside her and held her arm. “Grandmother, are you happy?
“Happy!” Matriarch Wei smiled. She thought of something and changed the topic. “I’ll be even happier if you give me another great-grandson.”
Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, Isn’t this a little big?
“Ah, this is for you.” Matriarch Wei took out a small medicine bottle from her wide sleeve and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao.
“What is this?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Old Madam Wei said, “I went to the temple to ask for the child-giving Guanyin Talisman for you. Hurry up and put it on. There will definitely be good news within a month!”
It couldn’t be that exaggerated…
Old Madam Wei said happily, “I’ve even thought of the name of my little great-grandson. If it’s a boy with a handle, it’s called Wei Xiaobao (Little Treasure).”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What if it’s a girl?”
Old Madam Wei said, “She’ll also be called Wei Xiaobao.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless..
